Setting up a new fee assessment rate code (STVRATE)

Per Mike Pilman in AR 8/14/23:

  1. Each year, the responsible department must update Mike with the current tuition and fee rates for the program. This can be problematic, so the Registrar should involve Mike in any new rate code requests.

    1. Previously used codes may be purged and would need to be set up again if renewed. AR can receive from whomever takes responsibility for it.

    2. Accounts Receivable records tuition and fee policies in Banner form SFARGFE, and use job SFRFASC to apply those policies to registrations, as they occur.

T/F policies in SFARGFE
  1. After rates are updated, and ideally before registration is recorded (to avoid +/- junk transactions) , the department will either modify the term record themselves if they have permission to do so, or send a request to the University Registrar to add the rate code by list.

  2. Prior to the start of the next term, the University Registrar must create a new [NEXT] term record for any student who has a non-BREG rate code in the current term. The new/next term record will be created with the default rate code BREG, for Billing Regular. This enforces the renew-every-term policy.

    1. Rate codes can substantially modify a student’s cost of attendance. We must re-affirm every term that each coded student is still eligible for the special rate in the next term.
